has anyone using this modified maps been experiencing random reboots?

I've been getting them, and most recently one of them sent me to the boot loader...

not sure if its the maps, but i just wanted to check if anyone else is getting it.
[Android Apps and Games] stian230:
no random reboots here . for me anyway
[Android Apps and Games] DanielMalmgren:
I got this also and pulled my hair for days. It turned out that I was trying to upgrade from brut.all's old mod, which gave me this behaviour. If I first uninstalled brut mod and then installed, started and uninstalled the official 5.x maps and after that tried to install the nowhere mod it worked perfectly fine. Could this be the case for you too?

[Android Apps and Games] whitesnake:
got a question, guys: it seems I've got a lot of languages installed in menu - get more... but the navigation works only with svox and I don't know how can I switch to my native language for driving guidance.

thanks in advance

Good that you share your installation method.. I probably help a poor guy ;)
[Android Apps and Games] soder:
Can someone please help me. I have use the NOT resign version for long now with no problem.

But I have low free space on /system now and as I understand it it's possible to install the resigned version in /data ?

I have removed the version I had in /system and I have also uninstalled Street View.

I have wiped data in Titanium Backup and all that.

But when I just try run the maps5.4.0-ownhere-resign.apk it will not get installed.

Can someone please tell me how to do?

[Android Apps and Games] doggydog2:

[Android Apps and Games] tot31:
please refer to abdulsamadkhn post just above you...I followed the steps he provided and it got installed successfully....:)
[Android Apps and Games] soder:
Yes, I also just tried to install the official version (not from Market) after I uninstalled the system version, and that worked. Great.

When there is a new version out, is it just to download and upgrade then? Same key and everything?

/Söder
[Android Apps and Games] stian230:
Have you hacked off the auto update on the market?

You can't Update When there is a new version , You must uninstall the old amd install the new one.

Latitude not working

Tried to search this thread but didn't find anything useful.

My problem is that Latitude stopped working after applying this mod.

Got three triangles on my notification bar, and it pops up "Add a Google Account" wizard everytime I start using Navigation.

Installed maps5.2.1-ownhere-resign.apk

LG Optimus 2x Stock 2.2 rooted ofc.
[Android Apps and Games] stian230:
put down your notification bar when you see the triangles and and push on them,close maps

open maps . Done.
[Android Apps and Games] doggydog2:
of course I did. It doesn't download it. It just restores the original version from Leedroid ROM from /system/app. I can't delete this file by any means - Root Explorer, Root Uninstaller. The phone reboots if I try. I've rooted superuser etc phone. Please help, I'm desperate.
[Android Apps and Games] ASKnASK:
Thanks :) I got worried, so worried that I didn't bother to check the permission request :p

Regarding Navigation

I having a problem, it take to much time for "GETTING DIRECTION" in Navigation is there any solution for that.
[Android Apps and Games] doggydog2:
ok I didn't know what is adb, but that method finally worked! Why the tools like Root blabla promises something that cannot be done when not in recovery mode?
[Android Apps and Games] Power_Getter:
This seems to be the best way, I did all steps but couldn't install ownhere map.

I tried to copy to system/app with no luck, any solution?
[Android Apps and Games] stian230:
it's maybe a bad gps signal , try getting directions outside.

does this mean that you got it working? ?

[Android Apps and Games] dj-:
thanks stian230. works great .
[Android Apps and Games] yani2000:
Thanks, works like a charm! :D

However I did have some trouble installing this.

First I uninstalled Maps and Street View in Titanium Backup, then I tried installing "maps5.5.0-ownhere-resign.apk", but it didn't let me. Then I went into Root Explorer set /system as R/W and copied "maps5.5.0-ownhere-resign.apk" in /system/app folder (like it states in first post). That was also a no-go. Restarted phone, tried various things, still nothing. Then I visited the page from "mparus" and saw that I need to copy "maps5.5.0-ownhere.apk" into /system/app folder and not "maps5.5.0-ownhere-resign.apk". It worked!

Because I could not find Street View in the Market, I copied "Street.apk" from my original rom back to /system/app folder, and the version is also the same so no problem.

Hope this mix-up will help somebody and that the OP will fix his installation instructions in the first post.
[Android Apps and Games] stian230:
Good you got it to work. And no I will not change the installation instructions on the first page, titanium method works for most of those who use ownhere-mod. If the titanium method does not work, I recommend strongly to use ADB,ned help to get ADB on your computer then say so I can help you.!

ADB did work last time I used it, don't know what I did wrong this time. Couldn't get it to work before I used Root Explorer as yani2000 explained...
[Android Apps and Games] stian230:
It can be the "Alternative installation Method" .:)
[Android Apps and Games] arvin2212:
This would make it work, what is on the first page is incorrect, at least after a few hours, i came up with this after numeros attempts, and finally it works:

What's the difference between the resign and other apk?
[Android Apps and Games] stian230:
The resign version you can update from market (but lose nav), put in /system/app and one you can't update put in /data/data. It says so in the first post ..

FYI: This is what I get when I try :
[Android Apps and Games] jameztcc:
Thanks! Been trying to figure that out.
[Android Apps and Games] mi3x:
It works in Romania as well (merge :) :D

But I installed the first version (actually placed it in system/app via root ex), the resign one is not seen, and even if I try to install it, it gives me "not installed" and does not show up in the app drawer.

Thanks!

Also in Poland everything works more than fine ;p re-sign ver. installed but had to uninstall previous ver. of the google nav. panel and street view like it's said @ start post then everything went fine ;p

using IVONA @market beta test free :p text to speech engine works great ;p
[Android Apps and Games] purgalm:
Mhm, I got troubles with understanding instructions in the OP ;)

I installed re-sign version and then street view from market but I don't see Google Maps in 'My apps' in the Market.

If I understood it correctly, after each update of Google Maps via Market I would have to go to this thread and download the modded version and install it again?
[Android Apps and Games] jzky:
Upgraded the previous version (pre-cracked) with no problems. Thanks for this :D

Finaly navigation in Norway :D

Please tell me what to do.

[Android Apps and Games] amcolian:
I have gps fixated on google maps but when I try to navigate anywhere it shows me the processing circle and says getting direction... if I try to enter destination from navigation app, it says no route found.

I even went onto the rooftop and tried it, but didn't work... walk directions show a large circle around my position that gets smaller and then nothing happens... also like I said, there is no street view on any destination I choose from the map either.

I lose the app on reboot i.e. every time I reboot I have to reinstall the apk. Any ideas?

Using the resign version. Usual titanium install method.
[Android Apps and Games] nadimsoze:
1. have to ask.... Did you reinstall street view?

2. My first fix took like half an hour. Since then less than a minute. Also sometimes it's better to get a fix in maps before going to navigation. I might be imagining this.

working successfully in INDIA :D on galaxy s i9000 2.3.3 darky 10.1v :).

here's what i did

T.B. wipe maps and uninstall maps ,

T.B. wipe and uninstall street view

download fresh maps from market

Super Manager(or root explorer) delete(just delete it no need to uninstall) maps 5.5.0 from /system/app

reboot

adb remount

adb push map5.5.0 ownhere.apk(not the resign version cause for some reason not working on my galaxy s :P) to /system/app

redownload street view(thought it's no use in INDIA )

fire it up.

Is there NO way to have this version of MAPS to use TTS in an other language then the language the phone is in?

I really HATE to have my phone in Swedish, but having an english voice to read the name of swedish streets really sucks!

I would like to keep my phone in english, but having Swedish in Maps.

[Android Apps and Games] karmatt:
Install a TTS with your language, go into Voice input & output settings, text-to-speech, select your language and select "Always use my settings" should work
[Android Apps and Games] soder:
But what about that they say that you have to use the same language then?

For those who get the "Login Failed" message, and don't get the three warning triangles like I did, here's a fix that worked for me.

1. Install original maps from market.

2. Sign in and join latititude (or not join latitude, I use it so heh)

3. Back up maps in titanium, app and data.

4. Wipe date and uninstall maps

5. Install resign version. DO NOT RUN, reboot right after installing.

6. After reboot, go to titanium and restore DATA only.

You should be signed in already.

I think TS should add some of the fixes to the OP, saves the trouble of people asking redundant questions.

Had the same problem on my Samsung Galaxy S2, but repeated the steps (with Titanium Backup) with 2 modifications: first enabled a market where maps is present (in my location Maps is not available on the market), so switched to T-Mobile market with Market Enabler before all the process, and the opened the apk resign using Root Explorer... I believe the difference was on the market setting more than using root explorer or other file explorer to open the file, since the apk installer is the same... but I mention it just in case it makes a difference.

Cheers, hope it helps ;)

[Android Apps and Games] Paparasee:
Tried this method and:

a) I still have two maps in the drawer ... is this normal?

edit: after a reboot, one of them disappeared! Should I have rebooted after the uninstall and then installed the resign version?

b) Did not find street view in the market so extracted it out of the TB and installed it (no, not restore ... but extracted and installed). When installing, I got a message saying that its going to replace an existing app. If it was uninstalled, why that kind of message?

c) would not login to maps and so had to restore from data.

Am stepping out to check if it works ... got to get gps to lock in :)

Sorry I may be asking the dumbest question, but what is this app for? dont we already have navigation free of charge? and another question is, even though it comes with free step by step direction voice how do you enable this? Also last question, is there a way to enable streetview navigation? like you can actually see that you moving forward like on streetview on a normal computer, you can click on the forward arrow and it will like shoot up for like 300-400 yards at a time?

Sorry if i am not clear.

[Android Apps and Games] melvinchng:
First of all, not all country has Google navigation. This app is has Google map navigation unlocked on every country.

SEcond, use Google map to use Google map navigation, e.g. you are at A location, use the search button, search B location. After you selected B location, there is a blue Google navigation icon, press that and it will navigate you in Google navigation.

Third Q, only street view apps that you can see it on Google map, I don't think you can see it on navigation.

I hope you understand what I say =]

So I installed this google map versione and it works great I finally got navigation.

but 1 question when I update my ROM from nightly to RC3 will it still be ther or disappears ?
[Android Apps and Games] stian230:
If you don't wipe before installing the update it will still be there.

[Android Apps and Games] reubenyap:
I'm using a rooted Motorola Atrix. Just to let you know that removing it via Titanium wasn't enough as it kept on giving an error 'Application not installed'.

These were the steps I did:

1. Used Titanium to wipe and delete Google Maps

2. Used Titanium to wipe and delete Street View

3. Rebooted (may not be necessary).

4. Installed latest Google Maps from Market.

5. Used Titanium to wipe and delete Google Maps

6. Installed the ownhere-resign.apk

Maybe it's something to do with devices where Google Maps is a system app but just thought it would help someone :D

5.find and remove maps and locations.
